ePIC Physics, Software, and Computing Discussion

Wednesday 23 Sept 2026, 11:00 → 12:05 US/Eastern

Charlotte Van Hulse, Dmitrii Kalinkin (Brookhaven National Laboratory), Holly Szumila-Vance, Markus Diefenthaler (Jefferson Lab), Rosi Reed (Lehigh University), Salvatore Fazio (University of Calabria and INFN-Cosenza), Torre Wenaus (BNL)

We are hosting the 18th ePIC Physics, Software, and Computing Discussion. 

We will cover physics event generators for the EIC and simulation production for physics studies. We will start with a report from the recent MC4EIC 2026 workshop. We will then focus on simulation readiness for the NIM-A Special Issue, including the epidprod user portal for submitting and tracking requests, simulation requests for the Early Science Report and beyond, and updates on production strategy and planning. 

We also welcome suggestions for topics to discuss at future meetings. Please submit them using this form: https://forms.gle/gSRwmELU3PxCMqZf7

We will use Zoom for the remote meeting:
